Geekie, who was the 67th pick in the 2017 NHL Draft by the Carolina Hurricanes and also played for the Seattle Kraken prior to signing with the Bruins in 2023, combined for 39 goals over his first 256 NHL games from 2019-20 to 2023-24. Then, despite the Bruins missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season, Geekie had a breakout performance with NHL career highs in goals (33), assists (24) and points (57 in 77 games) playing mostly on a line with high-scoring forward David Pastrnak (106 points; tied for third in League).
This season, he has taken his game to new heights and even further elevated his play since the recent injury to Pastrnak (hasn’t played since Nov. 26). Geekie has eight points (four goals, four assists) over the four games Pastrnak has missed, including three straight multipoint games. And, thanks for Geekie’s consistent production, the Bruins have not only emerged as a postseason contender under new coach Marco Sturm but are also near the top of the Atlantic Division.
Here are some underlying metrics storylines behind Geekie’s goal-scoring prowess:
